Target Details Tyrosinase-Related Protein 1

Function: A light-sensitive calcium channel that is required for inositide-mediated Ca(2+) entry in the retina during phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated phototransduction. Ca(2+) influx may then feed back and inhibit PLC, thereby facilitating phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) recycling. Trp and trpl act together in the light response, though it is unclear whether as heteromultimers or as distinct units, and are activated by fatty acids and metabolic stress. Also required forolfactory adaptation and may be involved inolfactory system development.Subunit: The C-terminus interacts with a PDZ domain of inaD to form the core of the inaD signaling complex. Other members of the complex include norpA (PLC), inaC (PKC), and possibly trpl, ninaC, FKBP59, calmodulin and rhodopsin. Forms homomultimers and heteromultimers with trpl. Interaction with trpl is mediated in part by the N-terminal region and thetransmembrane domains. Also interacts, though to a lower extent, with trp-gamma.Subcellular location: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Localized on plasma membrane loops found at the base of the rhabdomere, in close proximity to the calcium stores.Tissue specificity: Expressed predominantly in the rhabdomeres of photoreceptor cells. Expressed in the third antennal segment and in theolfactory segment at approximately 70 hours after puparium formation during antennal development. Also known as: Transient receptor potential cation channel protein.

Handling

Handling

Reconstitute in 100 µL of sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.

Handling Advice

Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Storage

4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment

Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
